anandtech lately.. their clocking is really bad

look at that 500fsb 1200mhz CL5 clocks

i can do it with latencies less than 50..
they left everything at auto.. thats y...

hmm they even change their stand on cpu vdroop ..
last time they said to disable it for 45nm's

their trd setting too lax..

trd 7
7-5/(6/5)>2.75(6/5)
42/6 - 25/6>13.75/6
so its doable ..
just need more vcmh and vdimm..
Then I see this:

another weird issue just cropped up
1:1 500fsb CL4 TRD 7..

it suddenly didnt work and was causing so many failures
heck even cant boot

tried 3 different sticks..
Team Xtreem PC2-6400 CL3's
Team Xtreem PC2-8500 CL5's
OCZ Flex PC2-8500 CL5's

even at 2.4vdimm also no effect

all of this had no probs with the maximus running at 1000mhz CL4 at 4.5ghz!!

it start with some boot manager issue on boot from restart
then it had trouble entering windows
then i reran windows mem diagnostic tool.
it failed in 9%
all of the sticks. from 1 stick to 4 stick config since i have 2 pairs of each with the same batch serials
so had to back it down to 1000mhz 5-5-5-8 TRD 8 rest same as the template 1.5vNB, set 2.00v dimm.
passed 10 passes for Team Xtreem PC2-6400 CL3
2.03vdimm for ther other 2 at 5 passes..

trying to figure out what happened.. it all started after sleep mode last night i booted up.. restarted and just loaded one of the profile i had for 500fsb saved..

till now cant get CL4 to work ..
You basically say Raja is a hopeless overclocker then you admit you can not do the clocks you say you can....which is it?

You know the test suit they run over at Anandtech is brutal, you guys living on the ragged edge would never be able to run all the benches and stability tests they do...plus remember they are not catering for on the edge people, they show what the board can do that is 100% stable

I hope you were not running 2.4V into your flex modules as you just broke your warranty
